Kind of annoying when regular fences and walls do submerge, I would also like to see other placable objects which do not fill up the entire square space of a block to be submerged, such as heads, anvils, buttons etc.
Working on a 96 block+ front mast long ship and wish to decorate the underside a little as well, seems Im quite limited as it is right now tho
